You can't unsee what you've seen - sadly Europe as a whole can't truly trust America ever again

If these actions against Ilhan Omar are to set precedent in how the DOJ operates then I would suggest a future AG take a long hard look at Elon Musk and his documented immigration violations

The agents undertaking in these actions are not just 'Trumpists' - they're racist Islamophobic zealots

If investment companies are paying Truth Social $100k per month for advance Trump posts and reacting in the market accordingly before anyone can dispute the content then the potential trading profits for Trump and his inner circle are enormous

Just reported in Europe - Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia hit power plant ‘after’ Trump’s energy ceasefire statement.

The corruption brought down Orban in Hungary. I believe Americans will bring down Trump for the same reason

Well as a Brit I wouldn’t be upset if Americans went back to paying us taxes. But you can criticise us as much as you want and we’ve only fought your wars lately

I seem to recall that the agreement you’re referring to also had the signatures of China, France, Germany, Russia and the UK

I’m not even American and I miss Obama as President. Not perfect in every way but a genius compared to what slobbers around the White House in 2026

You do get the impression that the far right want the real world to reflect the ecosystem they live in from their algorithms online

And the US tourist industry is trying to understand why America is the only developed country seeing falling visitor numbers

Really good piece and thanks for removing the paywall - I’m sure the dead and maimed kids in Ukraine must be worth every cent to these people

If you’re European it’s really very difficult to understand how a population can allow itself to be represented by an insane demented lunatic - just reading this Time interview makes me believe Americans are divorced from the reality of what’s happening in their country share.google/L6cp663YpdLj...

What is known is that Trump opened his big fat mouth and could have possibly given away UK intelligence sources

Neil Bowen @neilpbowen.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Trump gave these same BS lies about his businesses to the banks just before they went broke or were bailed out with Russian money

And today is the deadline for the DOJ to release the FBI notes regarding Trump raping children to the court - not holding my breath though

Shamefully the spread of open racism in society from social media to the real world is becoming more and more prevalent by the day

Americans appear to be far more concerned with the price of fuel and their wallets rather than the human rights abuses being carried out on their streets by ICE

Probably a good idea to let him break as many building regulation regulations as possible. Will be justification to tear the place down in a couple of years time

If there's direct military conflict between the UK and Russia then we're all a lot more fucked than we are right now

IMO the MSM is just falling into Trump's distraction trap yet again. He doesn't care if it gets overturns in court just as long as focus is taken away from what really matters to him at any given time

Just another sign that the far right is winning in the UK. Whatever your politics you should really want it to be the traditional parties destroying Reform and Restore at the polls

Still remember my first game on Boxing Day in 1962…. We won 5-0 against Ipswich. Hope Your boy sees a similar result today

The US now insisting Ukraine stops destroying Russian energy facilities is just part of the pay back

Sample of YouGov July polling on Trump favourability in Europe - UK 12%, France 15%, Germany 9%, Italy 8%, Spain 12%, Denmark 3% - At 20% he's in the running for Irishman of the year....

Serious question - does anyone actually believe any of the data coming out of the USA in 2026

Wait until he's told about the number of statutory paid holiday days we get in Europe

Neil Bowen @neilpbowen.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
They are scared that ordinary Americans may look at Europe and think why can’t we have what they have so their answer is to demonise our society and systems

The whole world sees the US as weaker both militarily and economically since Trump took over with Putin and Xi in particular looking to monopolise on the shitshow

This is exactly the same sentiment Israelis have had towards Palestinians for decades

His comments regarding Jeffries now in August are sensible. Unity among Democrats until after the US midterms is vital. It what he days and does afterwards that should be judged IMO

The EU & UK purchased about $80 billion of US Oil & LNG in 2025 - This needs to be switched to Canada immediately

I can’t believe that any American would not support universal healthcare paid for by taxing corporations and the ultra wealthy

Musk’s AI, Grok, was used in strikes in Iran, reveals Pentagon
A model derived from Grok, the 'Grok Gov Model,' is being used in a US military AI-assisted targeting program, according to the Pentagon.

Hasn't the US used AI in the Pentagon to conduct the Iran war - reporting here in Europe says it's not going too well

Cecil Rhodes was a particularly nasty piece of work and the 19th century equivalent of some of todays richest people

Yeah it’s kind of a sub lease and as dodgy as fuck

The permit is actually owned by a British company with a guy called Roderick McIllree seemingly running the show

I’m trying to figure out how this would be received in say London, Paris, Rome or Berlin - I already know the answer - millions protesting

And then you have Elon Musk a South African who broke US immigration law

Neil Bowen @neilpbowen.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
The good news, for now, is that we Europeans still have a favourable opinion of Americans as people. For example in the UK 60% are positive towards the American people but only 12% towards Trump

Neil Bowen @neilpbowen.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
Yes I’ve probably paid more taxes over the years here in Europe but thankfully have never had to worry about healthcare costs for me or my family - I really hope someday soon Americans will have the same peace of mind

Sure but it’s pretty clear Trump only listens to advice once he’s fucked up and looking for an exit strategy

This whole sorry episode that has cost nearly 70 lives was orchestrated by the US, Israel and Morocco - 60,000 people don’t suddenly decide to jump a fence randomly
